I actually thought the referee was pretty fair. All the fouls and cards in the 1st half were there.

Yep, more an observation than a criticism from me .

I read today , she was one of the first female refs, to ref a male World Cup (Qatar 2022)

 

[Zidane98]

Would like to see Mabil & Silvera.

Bos also at LB. Huge talent.

 

[Zidane98]

Boyle offside maybe?

Is there VAR?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Is there VAR?

Dont see why there would be for a friendly.

 

[NYRB]

Comms mentioned that there are around 4,500 Socceroo Fans at Wembley.

 

[NYRB]

This game is proof to me that someone like Craig Goodwin, is good enough to compete with the big boys in the Premier League.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Is there VAR?

Yep.

Stephanie Frappart to take charge at Wembley

The French referee will become the first woman to oversee an England men's senior international at Wembley Stadium

Class player but too old for that opportunity. If he is prepared to walk away from oil money he could play in Ligue 1, Eredivisie etc.

 

[NYRB]

The path to get to the top in football, is generally harder for an Australian than it is for an Englishman. But take nothing away from the Socceroos tonight, I dont think any of the XI on the park have been bad.

He previously played Eredivisie

Do understand why he went to Saudi Arabia. Dont know exactly what numbers he earns in Saudi and what he could in 4th to 6th best leagues in Europe.

A pro sports player especially in soccer, you probably have a good 10-12 years of peak football.

 

[Hamingja]

If he is just going to pump it long anyway I have no idea why Ryan sits on the ball forever

Takes the tempo out the game.

 

[NYRB]

All I say is whenever England play Australia in any sports, its 'no friendly'. This game being case-in-point.

 

[NYRB]

Goal Ollie Watkins

Assist Jack Grealish

At the end of a career it is more understandable. Think it's 3 million AUD a year or something tax free.

He wanted to stay at Adelaide Utd but got half that and not tax free like it is in Saudi.

 

[NYRB]

England lead 1-0 over Australia at 58 minutes

 

[Bradesmaen]

Poor from burgess

 

[Frank Bunn]

Grealish looked pissed off that Watkins got the final touch but the ball was going wide.

 

[Hamingja]

Takes the tempo out the game.

He has just about been caught in possession two or three times. Worth the risk if trying to play out to beat the press, if kicking long not worth a few seconds off the clock

 

[Bradesmaen]

Kalvin Phillips about to play 29 mins, will be nearly a 5th of his time played this season.
